<probiotics> floraq.com I was thinking of getting some of this, and probably will just for fun, I doubt you can do much harm. A quick look on Pubmed suggests that probiotics in general help 'reinforce the intestinal mucosal barrier' but not much else. A few abstracts under my belt, no measurable benefit to ill patients etc etc. I get to go in for a colonoscopy a couple weeks from now, goody goody. I suppose I ought to eat some yoghurt afterward. Yikes, colonoscopy animation: hopkins-gi.org edit, this looks promising: Curr Issues Intest Microbiol. 2003 Sep;4(2):53-60. ' the interactions of intestinal epithelial cells with indigenous bacteria are less well understood.
